| סיכום: | In light of the looming shortage of academics in Australian universities, this report investigates: how to raise the status of teaching in universities and how to enhance the pool of individuals from which academics with teaching responsibilities are drawn; their recruitment and initial preparation before they start; their induction into and monitoring of their teaching; their continuing education and professional development; how their compensation is structured and promotion supported; how the performance of struggling teachers is improved; how the best performing teachers are given opportunities to acquire more status and responsibility; and how all can be engaged in the educational reform needed to address the educational issues and matters emerging for higher education in the future. Part 1 provides an overview of matters associated with the current and anticipated future academic workforce in Australian higher education. Information is drawn from a review of key national reports, government statistics and the literature, and an analysis of the projects in relation to five key topics is presented. Areas of strength and opportunities for new initiatives are identified. Part 2 provides a summary of each of the 65 Australian Learning and Teaching Council projects and fellowships grouped under the key topics: the academic workforce; recruitment and induction of academics for teaching; high quality professional development for formal leaders; academic teaching evaluation and recognition; engaging academics in education reform.
